So many good tracks from this crew: Pomplamoose make wonderful music, i love the way they invite different vocalists in to co-create the magic. Here they’ve built the most satisfying mashup of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” with Bruno Mars’ “When i was Your Man”.
I’ve been loving Miley’s journey with “Flowers” since the first teasers on instagram. (Yes i have been playing this track on piano and singing along, quite a lot.) What a great song, and so many juicy gossip stories about the “meaning behind it all”. Did Liam say that “When i was your man” was “their song,”? Did she really release her response on Liam’s birthday, is it packed full of easter eggs like the suit and the reference to Bruno’s original song?
Well i learned a new word, “interpolation” because apparently when one song replies to another in dialogue, that’s called interpolating. (#MusicTheory) Miley’s Flowers is the perfect response to the message in Bruno Mars’ song: a post-modern woman can look after herself perfectly well thank you. She don’t need your tardy regrets and throwback wishes.
Anyway, Pomplamoose have a brilliant reply here of their own. Please enjoy tf out of this one:
Also while we’re here, Miley’s “Backyard Sessions” version of Flowers
